You don't have to enjoy an artist to be able to appreciate their talent. There are lots of talented artists, I don't enjoy. There are lots that are less talented that I enjoy.

Those poor kids probably don't get any of the jokes from arrested development. Wait, they don't even know what arrested development is. Omg, we are old.

I agree. I think its the image of success and being in the zeitgeist that promotes it more than the music or talent itself. It maybe just happened that previously, you were more likely to make it big if you were super talented. Now it's better if daddy gets you a record deal like Taylor, rather than daddy forces you to perform and abuses you like the Jacksons.
